Member Testimonials
I love the pool.
It would be great to have more of the group exercise classes earlier in the morning, 8am, 8:30am, 9am. Also, it would be great to have a belly dancing exercise class and a ballet balance class. Thank You for a great experience ALWAYS! EVERYONE is great!
Thank you !!
A lot has changed since 2020 but I see the y trying to get back. I highly recommend it.
I am elderly and find the 9 am group sessions to be just what I need to stay active. The gym instructors are thorough and friendly enough to make the sessions enjoyable.

Cleanliness and water fitness
The YMCA has been important place for my family in different times of our life. When we moved to Harrison Township and were close to the YMCA in Mt. Clemens we joined as a family. There were programs for all of us to participate in. My young daughters did swim lessons, pre-school program Y Guys and Gals, gymnastics, Ballet classes, Synchronize Swimming, and even a nutrient program. While they were in programs my husband and I did exercise programs. The Y was a place for me to develop adult friends who had young children, we would even go to lunch at McDonalds with the kids and continue to develop our friendship. We did many Birthday Parties renting a room and the pool at the Y for friends and family. We made many good memories through the opportunities at the YMCA.
As the girls got older and active in school we did not keep our membership in the YMCA and I was busy now with a job during the day. When the girls were in college I would take an exercise class that worked well with my work schedule. Now my husband and I are retired and we have gotten active again in the YMCA opportunities. We take a Ti Chi class together, we exercise in the pool with the Water Aerobic Classes, swimming laps, do Physical Therapy exercises in the water, and we use the exercise equipment to strengthen and keep active with our bodies. I take a chair yoga class and my husband takes the body pump class. It also provide an opportunity for us to do something as a couple. Now we are developing new friends from the classes we participate in, Their is even people still active who I knew when my kids were young.
The YMCA helps us in many ways, physically, mentally, spiritually, emotionally, and socially. I am so glad we have taken advantage of the opportunities the YMCA provides for people of all ages. I am grateful for the YMCA and what it has provided for me and my family.

The Downriver YMCA is always welcoming and very well maintained. The range of activities is excellent. I primarily use the pool which is pristine and the lifeguards are exemplary!

I enjoy the strength training and water classes offered in the evening and sat. The day & time works for my schedule.
